Becher was picked 16th overall by the Whitecaps in the 2022 MLS SuperDraft and signed an MLS contract later that year. The Brooklyn, Connecticut product was signed for the 2023 season, with club options for 2024, 2025, and 2026.
Becher showed lots of promise in limited minutes for Vancouver last season. He scored four goals, but playing behind star striker Brian White, Becher started just five of his 19 MLS regular season matches.
